City officials issued the warning late Friday night for nearly 35,000 customers, after losing power at the city's water treatment facility for nearly eight hours. The power outage forced the city to issue the precaution citywide.

Officials said the power outage caused a drop in water pressure that might have stirred up sediment and bacteria in the water pipes.

Around the city, people were coping with the situation on Saturday.

"It's a little stressful to be selling hot beverages and not have access to the city's water," said Daniel Boon, owner of the Highway 61 Coffee House.

Boon said the boil alert forced him to buy several gallons of bottled water to keep his business open.

"We are running our espresso machine with bottled water," he said.

"We had a drop in water pressure, and then we went to where we had no water whatsoever," said resident Kristeen Meehan, whose house was without water for hours before it was restored on Saturday morning.

Although city officials said they don't think the water was ever compromised, Meehan said she's not taking any chances.

"I just went out and got some bottled water, and I'm really prepared or really hydrated for the next couple of weeks," she said. "It's better to be safe than sorry. And they are looking out for our best interest."

City leaders monitored the water quality over the weekend and lifted the boil-water alert at noon Sunday.

Officials said the Yokena and Jeff Davis water systems were not affected.
